Do really believe that beauty is really skin deep? Or do you believe that it is judge by society?
Every day we look at the T.V or magazine and see beauty as it is perceived by society. Society has told us that being a size zero and wearing every fashion alive, is the only way you will be accepted. We tend to take that to heart. Whatever happened to being yourself and being accepted for who you are? We wonder what the next fall fashion is going to, instead of what our next exam is going to be on. As we fall in to our appearance, the more we fall out of knowing who we are.
With the pressures of living up to societies expectations, we are inflicted with low-self esteem. Low- self esteem is defined as: self-esteem reflects a person‘s overall evaluation or appraisal of her or his own worth. When life throws us a new wardrobe every season and we fail to collect or add that wardrobe to the one we had just a season ago, we are viewed as “not fly” ” not popping” or “not up to date” and that’s when our social life declines. When our social life declines, so does our self esteem {at a faster rate}. We tend to blame ourselves for our misfortune, because you did not buy this seasons wardrobe because, last season’s wardrobe was so expensive. We do not realize that it is not our faults it is societies.
Society also chooses our mind set as well, when it comes to the point of our appearance .As we get older, and we reach the peak of our adolescent years, we are more vulnerable to changes in our appearance by society. It’s like we just let society take over our mind and change the way we view our appearance, and the way we think other people look. Society changes more than just our minds it changes our social class.
As we change physically, we change who we hang out with and who we attract. When we follow society, we tend to not care for the people that were your friend before the big change and we leave them behind. After our old friends are shaken off, we look for people who also changed with us and start to unite with them, and then wreak havoc on the ones who you left behind. Society is also wreaking havoc on our minds and attitude.
Do you really know who you are? Or do you know the person society wants you to be? Society has really evolved into something, that hypnotizes or minds and thinking processes.
